partnership has allowed our show to be advertised and promoted in Skagit County. We also are promoted by other Log Shows throughout Washington. 6) The HCLS charges competitors an entry fee. Funding is also received from Sponsorships, Shirt Sales, Raffle Ticket sales, and Beer Garden sales. We do not charge an entry fee for spectators. The show has been self-sustaining since the inception; however the addition of grant funding will allow additional advertising and additional items in our operations budget. 7) Additional information about the High County Log Show: • Competitors from Deming and Buckley (along with their families) arrive early in the week with equipment and man -power to help with the set-up of the show. All time and effort donated ready and willing. • One of the main attractions to the show is the "Hot -Saw" competition. The show now has 2 local Kittitas County "Hot -Saws"-- a V8 Ford, and Polaris Snowmobile. • There is no admission fee for spectators at the High County Log Show. This allows families attending the event to spend funds at additional events throughout Kittitas County over the Labor Day Holiday. • 2017 will be the 7th year for the High Country Log Show. The show continues to draw additional competitors and spectators each year. • This event is supported by the enthusiastic volunteers and local sponsors. The Log Show is supported not just by the logging community, but includes sponsorship by over 45 sponsors including meat markets, restaurants, hardware stores, rental company, construction, electricians, and general contractors. • Please see the attachments for pictures of the 2016 show and the Chamber 2016 recap information.
